[785] 88 - (349) It was narrated that Abû Mûsâ said: "A group of the Muhâjireen and Anshâr differed concerning that. The Anshâr said: 'Ghusl is not mandatory unless semen spurts forth or there is water (emission of fluid).' The Muhâjirûn said: 'When he has intercourse, Ghusl is mandatory.' Abû Mûsâ said: 'I will answer you concerning that'. I went and asked permission to enter upon 'Âishah, and permission was granted to me. I said to her: 'O my mother' - or, 'O Mother of the Believers' - 'I want to ask you about something but I feel shy.' She said: 'Do not feel too shy to ask me anything that you would ask your mother who gave birth to you, for I am your mother.' I said: 'What necessitates Ghusl?' She said: 'You have come to one who knows about that. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When a man sits between the four parts and the two circumcised parts meet, then Ghusl is obligatory.”
